During this time, Desi has served in many volunteer roles for the Diocese; however, she is always eager to share her love for Northcoast Spirit Teens Encounter Christ, one of the largest retreat programs offered in the Diocese where she served as a Chairperson. In addition, Desi and her husband Matt are passionate about sharing God's love for marriage and family and have worked with the Diocese of Cleveland vocations office in promoting true discernment, including co-hosting the podcast "Created and Called."
